Roksanna Keyvan is an undergraduate Stamps Merit Scholar at Wake Forest University. To sharpen her commitments to systemic problem-solving, she created an interdisciplinary major in Environmental and Social Justice to equip herself for future public service, ensuring that constitutional interpretations promote a sustainable and just society. She now pursues this self-designed interdisciplinary major in Environmental & Social Justice. In 2024, she was recognized as a Yale Conservation Scholar for her commitment to social advocacy and environmental stewardship. 

With a focus on the intersection of human and environmental rights, Roksanna is dedicated to advancing research in sustainability and social justice. Her experience spans municipal renewable engineering initiatives, community-based participatory research on courts and carcerality, and public policy at both national and international levels– including policy work for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Beyond her academic work, she actively engages in environmental policy and advocacy with Citizens' Climate Lobby, supports international humanitarian efforts to improve water, sanitation, and hygiene as an intern for Wine to Water, and serves on the steering committee for the 'Mapping Prejudice in Forsyth County' initiative, which seeks to uncover concealed histories of discrimination in the region.

In 2023, Roksanna joined the inaugural cohort of Young Experts for the Girls' Human Rights Hub, recognized for her expertise in research and legal affairs. In 2024, she was invited to serve as Assistant Coordinator for the Young Experts program, where she now oversees the management of the 2024-2025 cohort and will support the development of the 2025 Girls' Human Rights Festival.

Roksanna has been invited to speak about the intersection of human rights, sustainability, and justice at Wake Forest University, Elon University, and at the University of Florence.
